  • The Ultimate Liberal gathering. Metro sexuals, drunks, sex workers, handicapped, homosexuals, trans, and more! Degenerates abound, from hosts to guests to topics, it's the top of the DNC mountain.

  • Truly Terrible

    The self indulgent hosts repetitive bits, and unprofessionalism often leave it to the shows guests and producer to pick up the pieces.

  • Who Are These Podcasts? — Critiquing Podcasts Longer Than the Podcasts They Critique

    Who Are These Podcasts is the podcast equivalent of sitting behind someone at a movie theater telling you this movie sucks instead of enjoying the movie.

    Every episode feels like a group project where nobody brought new material, so they just keep making fun of the same things for three hours and call it content.

    The irony is impressive: a show dedicated to criticizing podcasts somehow manages to remind you how much you’d rather be listening to the podcasts they’re making fun of.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep733 - FU Friday, Joe Matarese, Artie Fletcher, Jerry Banfield
Q: How did Matarese describe his move back to Philly and why did the hosts think the concept evolved into a sitcom-style arc?
They interpreted it as a long, planned arc that stretched over years, with family dynamics and real-life constraints driving the plot, which then morphed into a narrative arc suitable for a sitcom-like payoff.
Ep701 - Club Random with Adam Carolla
Q: Did you get a chance to check it out at all, Erik?
Yes, I did notice that there's different stages of Bill Maher and how he behaves in informal settings compared to formal ones.
Ep696 - Golden Hour Live, Opie & Ron, StutJo, Bill Burr, a Gay Furry
Q: What do you think about the hate from the internet?
It's jealousy, mostly about people not being brave enough to pursue their dreams.
Ep682 - Opie’s New Cohost, Bill Burr, Brendan Schaub, StutJo
Q: What do you think makes Bill Burr a suitable guest for this podcast?
His recent struggles with public image, especially after the Riyadh Comedy Festival, make for significant and topical discussion.
Ep672 - Bill Burr, Opie & Ron, StutJo, Bryan Callen, Steel Toe
Q: Is hazing gay?
Yes, it's gay, and ironic because of what he tried to do with Mick Reketa.
